The sharpest and most reliable Google Pixel 5 renders are here to clear up all the confusion
While Google doesn’t have a great track record when it comes to keeping its in-house mobile devices under wraps prior to their official announcements, the Pixel 5 lineup remains largely shrouded in mystery.
Of course, the main reason why we don’t know exactly what to expect from the search giant’s next “flagship” is that there’s a lot of contradictory information floating around the interwebs. For instance, some sources claim the Pixel 5 XL will sport a 6.1-inch screen, while others don’t believe Google has a jumbo-sized variant of the Pixel 5 in the pipeline to begin with.
Although several renders were purportedly leaked more than a month ago, the king of factory CAD-based imagery is here today to help clear up some of the confusion hovering over the undoubtedly fast-approaching Google Pixel 5. Without further ado, here are all the details Steve Hemmerstoffer, aka @OnLeaks, can “confirm” in collaboration with his long-time partners over at Pricebaba.
Compact body, hole punch design, two rear cameras
Instead, the Pixel 5 is expected to look a lot like the budget-friendly 4a, with an essentially identical hole punch situated in the top left corner, a similarly thin but noticeable “chin”, and a flat display measuring around 5.7 or 5.8 inches.
The Pixel 4a comes with a 5.81-inch OLED screen and 144 x 69.4 x 8.2mm overall dimensions, so odds are you won’t be able to immediately tell the Pixel 5 apart from its lower-end and lower-cost cousin given the latter’s rumored 144.7 x 70.4 x 8.1mm measurements.
The back panel is an entirely different kettle of fish, mind you, including two cameras, a mysterious sensor, and an LED flash mounted on a larger square-shaped module than the one on the Pixel 4a, which houses a single rear-facing shooter.
The Pixel 5 will almost certainly combine an aluminum frame with a glass rear cover for a significantly more premium build than the all-plastic Pixel 4a. Rendered in black, the upcoming 5G-enabled handset should also rock a more eye-catching green color option.
